I read this beautifully touching novel in one day, it was that wonderful. Hello, Universe is written by Erin Entrada and beautifully illustrated by Isabel Roxas.
It is a tale of friendship, courage and the story of 24 hours of 4 sixth grade children whose lives collide in surprising and unexpected ways. It tells the tale of a shy boy, Virgil, whose nickname is Turtle, a smart deaf girl, Valencia, a class bully, Chet, and a budding psychic, Kaori, along with her younger sister, Gen. Their paths all cross in the woods between their houses when Chet pulls a prank, which endangers one of the group. Was it just a coincidence? Or are somethings meant to be?
This was an interesting story to read on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday in the UK with wonderful characters that folks young and old would be able to relate to in so many ways!
I borrowed this book from Taunton library.
